Comprehensive mental health assessment

 
 

What is a Comprehensive Mental Health Assessment?

A comprehensive mental health assessment is an in-depth evaluation that explores your emotional, psychological, and behavioural wellbeing. It helps build a complete picture of what’s going on, so we can offer the right diagnosis, treatment plan, or support — tailored to your unique experience.

 

Who is a Comprehensive Mental Health Assessment for?

This type of assessment is for anyone experiencing ongoing mental health difficulties, particularly if:

  • You’re unsure what diagnosis or treatment is right for you

  • You’ve had multiple diagnoses or symptoms that don’t fit neatly

  • Past treatments haven’t worked or felt incomplete

  • You’re navigating co-occurring conditions (e.g. ADHD and anxiety, trauma and OCD)

  • You’re exploring neurodivergence or identity-related mental health

  • You need a formal report for work, university, or care coordination

  • You want to understand your strengths, challenges, and care options

It’s suitable for adults, young people, and families, and can be adapted for trauma histories, neurodivergence, or cultural considerations.

 

What does a Comprehensive Mental Health Assessment involve?

  • 90–120 minute in-depth psychiatric or psychological interview

  • Full history of symptoms, development, relationships, and health

  • Review of previous diagnoses, medications, and therapy

  • Screening for mood, anxiety, psychosis, trauma, neurodivergence, and personality

  • Risk assessment and safety planning (if needed)

  • Diagnostic formulation using DSM/ICD criteria

  • Option to involve family or partners (with your consent)

  • Medication review and discussion of treatment options

  • Consideration of cultural, sensory, and identity-related needs

  • Trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming approach

  • Clear verbal feedback during or after the appointment

  • Comprehensive written report available on request

  • Suitable for online or in-person delivery

  • Can include referrals to therapy, coaching, or further assessments

Our approach
 

Our approach to Comprehensive Mental Health Assessment

At Bloomfield Health, we offer assessments that are collaborative, respectful, and thorough. We know that your mental health story can’t be reduced to a checklist. Our clinicians take time to listen and build a clear, shared understanding of what you’re experiencing — and what might help. Whether you’re seeking diagnosis, clarity, or a fresh start after difficult experiences in the system, we create space for you to feel heard and supported.

 

A comprehensive assessment is longer and more detailed — ideal when diagnosis is unclear, complex, or overlapping.

Possibly — if appropriate. We focus on understanding your experience first, not labelling it. Diagnosis is offered only when helpful and accurate.
